Life’s Laughs

An old maxim states that laughter is good for the soul. Proverbs 17:22 agrees, “A cheerful heart is good medicine, but a crushed spirit dries up the bones.” So what do you do when life just isn’t funny, when your spirit is crushed and your bones dried up? Take to Facebook, of course, and let your friends deliver a dose of delight!
Here’s a joke from my friend Holly:
Two nuns were driving through Transylvania when a vampire jumped out and blocked their way. The second nun said to the first, “Show him your cross!” The first stuck her head out the window and shaking her fist said, “Get out of the road you toothy jerk!”
Get it? Very punny?
How about this one from John:
A duck walks into a hardware store and says to the clerk “Got any grapes?”
The clerk says patiently, “No, this is a hardware store. We don’t have any grapes. Try a grocery store.”
The duck leaves.
The next day the same duck walks into to the same hardware store and says to the clerk (who is, coincidentally, the same clerk), “Got any grapes?”
The clerk says, a little less patiently, “No! Like I told you yesterday, this is a hardware store; we don’t sell grapes here.”
The duck leaves.
The next day the duck walks into the store again and says to the clerk, “Got any grapes?”
By this time the clerk is thoroughly put off with the duck and says, “No! We don’t have any grapes! This is a hardware store! If you come in here and ask me again I’m going to nail your feet to the floor!”
The duck leaves.
The next day the duck walks into the hardware store and says to the clerk, “Got any nails?”
The clerk, relieved, says, “Finally! A sensible question! But no, I’m sorry. We’re all out of nails. I just sold the last package.”
And then the duck says, “Good. In that case…got any grapes?”
Oh, that’s funny! Are you laughing?
This was a clever caption that circulated recently:
If you fall, I’ll be there. ~Floor
Are your sides splitting yet, or do I need to head over to Twitter too?
Here’s one I just made up myself:
I’m fighting a battle with my bathroom scale. I must be winning, because I’m sure not losing!
Ba-dum-ching!
In all seriousness, though, the burdens of our daily lives can carry great weight. Giggle off some stress and lighten that load a little. It’ll carry oxygen to your brain, release some endorphins, and may result in solving long-suffered struggles. Who knows? You may even find whirled peas.
